Crisis in East Africa

Fifty-seven journalists fled their country in the past year, with Somalia sending the
greatest number into exile. Journalists also fled Ethiopia, Eritrea, and
Rwanda--mostly for Kenya and Uganda. Exiles in East Africa must grapple with
poverty and fear. A CPJ special report by María Salazar-Ferro and Tom Rhodes

The crime reporter for Uganda's vibrant Daily
Monitor, Andrew Bagala, went to an odd
funeral over the weekend. Last week, he covered
the murder of online journalist Charles Ingabire, 32, who was shot
dead in the early hours of Thursday morning by unknown gunmen at a bar in a
Kampala suburb. "I decided to follow up the case and attend the funeral," he
told me. "It was first funeral I have ever been to in Africa where there was
silence."
